Oil and Gas Litigation

Houston, Texas Oil and Gas Litigation Lawyers

When petroleum and energy companies are interested in surveying land or drilling for oil, gas, or minerals, landowners need certain legal protections and requirements to protect their financial and legal interests. Before allowing drilling or exploration, landowners and geologists should have a contract in place specifying a schedule for royalties, the terms of a land lease and who is responsible for environmental clean-up. Landowners should also make sure they are indemnified should drilling or exploration result in drainage or damage to an adjacent property owner's land. At the law office of Alton C. Todd, our attorneys protect the financial interests and legal rights of landowners and geologists in litigation involving oil and gas issues.

Before you attempt to resolve matters on your own, contact oil and gas litigation attorneys at the law office of Alton C. Todd. We provide free consultations to evaluate your case and discuss the legal options available.
